UA Evening & Weekend:

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can take courses through the UA UA Evening & Weekend?
You can! If you can’t attend daytime classes; if you’re interested in completing an undergraduate degree; if you’d like to improve your skills, change careers, or expand your knowledge in areas of interest; or if you’re interested in returning to school on a part-time basis, the UA UA Evening & Weekend is for you.

How can I be admitted to UA UA Evening & Weekend?
There is no separate application needed to take advantage of Evening & Weekend programs. For admission to The University of Arizona, see www.admissions.arizona.edu.

How are seats allocated?
The mission of UA Evening & Weekend is to support students in earning a UA degree outside of regular business hours. Central to this mission, we are charged with assisting students with day time weekday obligations in accessing courses that fit their restrictive schedules. Seats in Evening & Weekend classes are initially open only to students who can demonstrate a need for evening/weekend sections based on their inability to take classes on weekdays.* This need may be demonstrated through any of the following means:

  • Transcript reflecting past practice of registering for off hour courses
  • Work or military schedule
  • Written statement of child or elder care responsibilities

Students with non-restrictive schedules may be added to a wait list and then be added to Evening & Weekend sections (as availability permits) starting three weeks before the start of each semester.

*Departmental prerequisites and other registration policies also apply.

Can I transfer credits from other colleges and universities?
Your credits from accredited two-and four-year institutions may be transferable.

Consult www.arizona.edu/future/ts/transfer.php.
